Nicole Kidman Has Finally Opened Up About The Pain She Suffered During Her Marriage To Tom Cruise

Nicole Kidman may be a beautiful and talented star, but her life hasn’t always been easy. After she married Tom Cruise in 1990, for example, she experienced some trials and tribulations that she mainly kept to herself. Kidman and Cruise divorced in 2001, however, and perhaps the passing of time has helped the actress to speak out about how painful her time with her ex-husband actually was.

Kidman’s career since divorcing Cruise, meanwhile, has gone from strength to strength. In 2002 she won a Best Actress Oscar for playing Virginia Woolf in The Hours; since then, she’s also received two other nominations for her work in Rabbit Hole and Lion. Kidman’s personal life seems to have improved, too, as she has been married since 2006 to musician Keith Urban.

And by all appearances, Kidman and Urban have a successful relationship, judging by their showings of affection for each other on social media. What’s more, even though Kidman’s career more or less eclipses Urban’s, the country singer is consistently supportive of his wife. After Kidman’s HBO series Big Little Lies turned out to be a massive hit, for instance, Urban told Australian talk show Sunrise how proud he was of her.
